Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
While primarily a supernatural horror film, its central solution to absolute evil relies heavily on traditional Catholic faith, prayer, and the self-sacrificing actions of devout religious figures, subtly aligning with conservative values that emphasize tradition and faith.
The movie features visible diversity in its main cast with a non-white actor in a key supporting role. However, its narrative primarily focuses on a supernatural horror plot without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities, portraying its diverse set of heroes positively.
Secondary
The demon Valak, traditionally depicted as male in demonology, is portrayed primarily in a female form as a demonic nun in the film. This constitutes a gender swap from its established lore.
The film portrays Christianity, specifically Catholicism, as a vital and effective force against demonic evil. It affirms the power of faith, prayer, and sacred rituals, positioning religious adherents as courageous defenders against supernatural threats. The narrative consistently validates the efficacy of Christian belief in combating the film's antagonist.
The film "The Nun" is a supernatural horror movie set in a Romanian abbey. Its narrative focuses exclusively on demonic possession, religious faith, and the battle against evil forces. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present within the story, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film "The Nun" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a supernatural horror story within a religious setting, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Nun (2018) features characters original to The Conjuring Universe or whose cinematic appearance was established in prior installments. There is no evidence of a character, previously established as one race in source material or history, being portrayed as a different race.
